FINDING FOCUS

Here in the U.S. we are smack in the middle of summer season, when I have the hardest time focusing.

Here are some resources to tap into if you're feeling the same thing.

• This article from the Greater Good Institute (UC Berkeley) lays out what's underneath mind-wandering and why finding focus can be so hard to begin with!

• Some tips for focusing are outlined here.

• This week's "What's in Your Leadership Backpack" includes a discussion and some tips for becoming more fluent with your own emotions - a great first step in understanding what you may need to address before you can focus. Check it out here.

"There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency
what should not be done at all."
~Peter Drucker
